Exercise 16: Write up three proofs for the above six theorems. (You should be able to do all of them, but write up three of them.) Theorem 26: Suppose a, b ∈ Z. Then a ≤ b if and only if b − a ∈ N. Theorem 27: Suppose a, b, c ∈ Z. If a < b then a + c < b + c. If a ≤ b then a + c ≤ b + c. Theorem 28: Let a ∈ Z. Then a ∈ N if and only if a ≥ 0. Also, a is positive if and only if a > 0, and a is negative if and only if a 76 Chapter 4. The Integers Z Theorem 29: Transitivity for < holds. Theorem 30: Transitivity for ≤ hold. Mixed transitivity for < and ≤ hold. Theorem 31: Trichotomy for < holds.
